slowly losing it.

lovemy4boys started this conversation
Well like most people on here. I am unemplyed, and looking for work everyday. It is so hard, because the jobs I want are the ones I can't get because of the lack of experience or education. Yes, of course I want to return to school but I need money now to take care of my family. I don't receive state assistance anymore. I reached my time limit. I don't receive any child support. I don't understand, if the Government can find Bin Ladin than how come they can't find dead beat dads. I need some help now. My boys are 13, 10,8, and 7 I have been their only parent and have been supporting them all all of their life. I don't regret having them. Yes, I should have waited but oh well I have my babies. I know I want a better life for them. Its just so hard. I am trying my best. I don't know what to do. Right now I need $1500 just to catch up on bills and rent for the month of June. I am about to lose my license, my vehicle, and gas for our home, all while being behind on rent.
I have a friend who ha been helping me, but I can tell he is getting tired of paying my bills he has his own bills and kids. He is great but I think I will lose him soon because I can't pay my on bills. I am an independent woman but with no job or income I feel worthless. Help!!!

Is it difficult to start a blog? Well, that really depends, ... Take a look at Blogspot.com. There are many other websites which offer the same sort of blog set up too, simply do a search on Google or Bing. Creating your own blog is a step between a site like this one, and that of creating your own website and domain. Blog site's offer a variety of templates, and also allow for your own creativity to whatever extent you want and are comfortable with. It's one of those things you learn as you go along, ... and I find it a wonderful way to use both my artistic and writing talents. You can really run wild with everything from subject matter, to set up and design. Here are links to my pages on Blogspot ... you can also view Blogspot itself and see what others have created.

 in response to CATLUV...   Wow! Thanks you have given me a place to start. Can I ask is it difficult to start a blog or is there a start up fee for the website. Sorry, everyone should know that right. I can use. A computer and browse thru websites but I'm not sure how to start with a blog. It sounds interesting and I do have many thoughts and stories to share. I have a passion for writing.

Also, if you want to go back to school that may actually be of some help to you financially .. from what you've explained, it's clear you'd fully qualify for full financial aid, in addition to being eligible for a number of grants. Financial aid not only pays for your tuition, books and fees, but there also tends to be a little money left over for your living expenses. You can also apply for school loans, which have lower interest rates and are allotted a longer time period to pay back.

Here is a place to start with finding resources for financial assistance with things like rent, utilities, etc:

There are several national services which locate deadbeat dads (or parents) and by law are able to take child support, withhold it from paychecks, bank accounts, assests, etc. Here are a few of them:

This one is directly thru government:
